The Laings Journal
First launched in 1999, Patek Philippe is celebrating 24 years of the iconic ladies Twenty~4 watch, the brand’s first exclusively feminine collection.
Twenty~4, as in the 24 hours comprising a day and night, complements the facets of a rich and varied lifestyle. When Patek Philippe launched the sophisticated collection, it had the busy lives of modern active women in mind – refined, elegant independent women. And so was born a watch with an assertive personality, an asset to every occasion – at work and at home and during leisure activities. A watch with timeless style complementing fashionable business clothes and the most elegant eveningwear.
Timeless feminine elegance is at the heart of the collection with pieces to suit every aspect of life. The Twenty~4 is a series of continuous renewal, introducing refreshing new colours and combinations to a classic collection. Available in rose gold or stainless steel – as well as diamond-set versions – there is a piece for every time of day or night. Opulent sunburst dials grace each model, with elegant blue, olive green, brown and rose gilt amongst the selection.
The original Twenty~4 model features an art-deco-inspired “manchette” or cuff design with the distinct cambered rectangular case. This design continues to be instilled throughout different models of the collection today. The Twenty~4 with quartz movement features this classic silhouette, available in steel with two rows of diamonds adding sparkle to the structured profile.
In 2018, the collection was reinvented, transforming the original rectangular profile to unveil a new rounded case. The look of this timepiece honoured the principles of the collection, presenting an elegantly refined and astutely feminine appearance. Another distinction in the series of Twenty~4 Automatic models is the self-winding mechanical movement, demonstrating the innovative spirit which Patek Philippe is so famously known.
Currently consisting of 10 references, the Twenty~4 collection is rich in timeless elegance graced with the expertise of one of watchmaking’s most esteemed brands. Discover the exquisite collection at Laings to uncover beautiful design and exceptional watchmaking.
